Emma's POV
I woke up panthing and gasping for air, i just had another nightmare, the third one since my birthday which was two days ago. I keep having the same dream seeing the only thing that makes my body creep in disgust.
I stood up and walked to the bathroom, furrowing my brow at the beads of sweat on my face. I quickly washed off and did the needful, today is going to be the best day cause it's my anniversary of saving the world, it's actually a long story.
I dressed and went down the stairs smiling widely, today i plan on telling my boyfriend how i did save the world, which i kept from him for a year now, i just needed time to fully trust him, because i have enemies lurking around, though he isn't one of them, right?. Thinking about it gave me the creeps.
After eating alone which was weird, it wasn't usually quite. I actually live with my Mom and three other important females who had contributed to my life. I'm going to tell you guys about my past when my boyfriend gets here.
" Honey, am here"
Oh, that's my boyfriend, I'll go grab a popcorn to begin my story.
....â€â€â€â€â€â€â€
Three years ago
I layed on the small bed in a shabby but comfortable room but i was anything but comfortable at that time.I was lost in my own world, sobbing quitely on how cruel the world has been to me since i was little.
I need to get out of this place, but how?, it seems really impossible to escape, i tried escaping some times but it only ended up futile, each time i get caught , they take me to the torture room' I thought, my heart raced at the mention of the horrible place.
The door suddenly burst opened, making my heart skip a bit.
"Get dressed, you will be needed soon" Tessa said with disgust and slammed the door. I was used to this but can i stiil go on?.
Once more, i felt something telling me to escape. For the past two years i had failed five attempts which wasn't easy and because of the fact that i might runaway, the security was tightened. But its still kept tugging my chest...
'Okey....what's the worse that could happen' I thought and smiled, my body felt relaxed qith the new found courage. I already freshened up earlier, so i just packed my hair in a bun and wore simple, comfortable clothes to aid my escape.
I had a worn out joggers which was a bit small for me, but i had to compromise, i can't move around with my bare foot, can i?.
I went to the window and looked down,i was on the second floor of the storey building, i gulped down nervously knowing i was terriefied of heights, that was why i never followed the window, but i had to know, it was my only choice of escaping.
I looked around to think, collecting my thoughts i remembered a show i watched when i was little.
' i would use their tactics to escape' I thought and smiled nervously knowing it wouldn't be any easy, that was a movie this was reality. Nevertheless, i look around and gathered my clothes alongside my bedsheet, tying them up to form a rope.
I went to the window and checked for any sign of people, after thoroughly checking , they was no sign of anybody.
'This should be easy now that the security camera has been damaged.... i need to be fast, they might fix it anytime soon' I thought as anxiety and adrenaline rushed through my body. I tied the substitute rope to a strong surface and pulled it to test if it could hold my weight and it was managable, it was risky but i had to.
Throwing the rope over the window, i looked down and noticed it didn't reach the ground, my face filled with disappointment, i looked around and didn't see anything fit to add to it.
I gave myself few words of encouragement, walking towards the door and locked it, to by me more time.
I held it tightly like my life depended on it, well, my life did depend on it. I slowly climbed down the robe without looking down, I reached a window which was Tessa's ballet room and i froze, i totally forgot about it, trembling in fear, i decided to look closer to know if she could see me. I moved closer and saw her dancing, practically oblivious of her surrounding, her steps were fierce and angry which made me wonder if she had always danced like this.
Unknown to me, what i was holding unto was about to rip apart, before i could blink, i fell down bruising my elbow in the process. It wasn't a loud crash, but it was enough to catch the snakes attention. I quickly hid by the wall, dragging the cloth with me as well.
Seeing she had shrugged and continued dancing, i heaved a sigh of relieve. Walking further i saw the man meant to fix the camera. When he saw me, he waved and smiled and smiled back at him, though it didn't reach my eyes.
I signaled for him to get down which he did. I tried telling him to hand me his clothes the nicest way possible, but he had to many questions, so i used the tazer on him and said sorry afterwards. He fell unconscious,then i started to strip him, it was really difficult because of his unconscious state, but i still wasted no time.
I wore his clothes which was a jumpsuit, blue in colour and his cap which covered my face and hair as a disguise. I took his bag of tools and left, i kept walking since i knew my way around here. As i kept going, something caught my eyes, it looked like a bunker. I feared to go in because it might be anything dangerous but before i got there, i was stopped by a voice.
